Buffer Overflow

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier of CVE-2009-1725 to the following vulnerability:

KDE Konqueror allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and potentially execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow due to improper handling of numeric character references. This issue was first discovered in WebKit and fixed in KHTML (trunk, 4.3 branch and 3.5 branch) a few hours ago: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1002162 http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1002163 http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1002164

I am already working on Fedora updates.
